Musk's trillion-dollar salary plan will be voted on next week, and Musk is engaged in a war of words with consulting firms.

Next week, Tesla will hold a shareholder vote on CEO Musk's $100 billion compensation plan. However, several consulting firms that provide shareholder voting recommendations for institutional investors, such as Glass Lewis and ISS, have publicly opposed this massive compensation plan. This has also sparked a war of words between Musk and them. Musk said, "I have worked hard to build a 'robot army', but it may be kicked out of the company because of the extremely foolish advice from ISS and Glass Lewis, who don't know anything at all."
